I'm a Poet & I Know It

"Feed the bees, $1.50 a pail

$1.50, $1.50, $1.50 a pail

Feed the bees", that's what she cries

While overhead, honey bees fill the skies

All around the beehives, the workers and drone bees

Look down as she fills her their pails

Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling

Each time the beekeeper shows that she cares

Though her words are simple and few

"Listen, listen", she's calling to you

"Feed the bees, $1.50 a pail

$1.50, $1.50, $150 a pail"

I'm a poet and I know it.
